Abstract
A pacifier assembly device comprising two pacifier components. The pacifier components are assembled together using a connection component. When assembled together, opposing nipple-like protrusions of each pacifier component assists an infant with successfully positioning one of the protrusions into its mouth. When disassembled, the pacifier components may each be used individually or thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.
Claims17
A pacifier assembly device including components configured to be used individually or assembled, the device comprising:
- a first pacifier component, the first pacifier component comprising a first mouthguard portion defined by a first front side surface, a first rear side surface, and a first border surface,
- a first flange element projecting perpendicularly from the first rear side surface,
- a first aperture extending through both the first front side surface and the first rear side surface,
- a first nipple-like protrusion projecting perpendicularly from the first front side surface;
- a second pacifier component, the second pacifier component comprising a second mouthguard portion defined by a second front side surface, a second rear side surface, and a second border surface,
- a second flange element projecting perpendicularly from the second rear side surface,
- a second aperture extending through both the second front side surface and the second rear side surface,
- a second nipple-like protrusion projecting perpendicularly from the second front side surface;
- the first pacifier component and the second pacifier component configured to attach non-permanently together, wherein the second flange element assembles to the first aperture so that the second flange element protrudes through both the first front side surface and the first rear side surface of the first pacifier component, and the first flange element assembles to the second aperture so that the first flange element protrudes through both the second front side surface and the second rear side surface of the second pacifier component such that the first nipple-like protrusion of the first pacifier component opposes the second nipple-like protrusion of the second pacifier component.

A pacifier assembly device including components configured to be used individually or assembled, the device comprising:
- a first pacifier component comprising a first nipple-like protrusion on a first front side surface, a first tenon portion on a first rear side surface, and a first mortise portion comprising a first aperture;
- a second pacifier component comprising a second nipple-like protrusion on a second front side surface, a second tenon portion on a second rear side surface, and a second mortise portion comprising a second aperture;
- the first pacifier component non-permanently attached to the second pacifier component, wherein the first tenon portion is assembled to the second mortise portion so that the first tenon portion protrudes through both the second front side surface and the second rear side surface of the second pacifier component, and the second tenon portion is assembled to the first mortise portion so that the second tenon portion protrudes through both the first front side surface and the first rear side surface of the first pacifier component, and further wherein the first nipple-like protrusion of the first pacifier component opposes the second nipple-like protrusion of the second pacifier component.
A pacifier assembly device including components configured to be used individually or assembled, the device comprising:
- a first pacifier component comprising:
- a first front side and a first rear side,
- a first mortise portion comprising an aperture defined by a first edge surface,
- a first tenon portion located on the first rear side, the first tenon portion comprising a first flange element terminating with a first protuberance element, and
- a first nipple protrusion projecting perpendicularly from the first front side;
- a second pacifier component comprising:
- a second front side and a second rear side,
- a second mortise portion comprising an aperture defined by a second edge surface,
- a second tenon portion located on the second rear side, the second tenon portion comprising a second flange element terminating with a second protuberance element, and
- a second nipple protrusion projecting perpendicularly from the second front side, wherein each pacifier component further comprises aperture elements;
- the first pacifier component non-permanently attached to the second pacifier component, wherein the first mortise portion connects to the second tenon portion with the second protuberance element protruding through both the first front side and the first rear side of the first pacifier component, and the second mortise portion connects to the first tenon portion with the first protuberance element protruding through both the second front side and the second rear side of the second pacifier component, such that the first nipple-like protrusion of the first pacifier component opposes the second nipple-like protrusion of the second pacifier component.
